It's definitely first person, but it is a "limited movement" first person game, for example if you see a ride, you can't just jump on it, you click the mouse to interact with it to ride it (and then you're stuck riding it till the end). Also in certain situations you have a limited turn radius to look around (but that's an intentional part of the plot rather than an engine limitation).
